In the beginning, Xuan's idea was simple. Lu Yin and Lu Xihua were siblings. They looked very similar. They didn't even need plastic surgery. Simple makeup was enough to turn Lu Yin into Lu Xihua.
However, this idea was quickly rejected by Guhan. Trying to trick people with makeup was too insincere. Zhou Yu only needed one look at the dress and the opie to understand everything!
Next, Xuan suggested Lu Yin to undergo a sex change operation. With the help of advanced technology, it would only take a day for Lu Yin to fully recover. By then, Lu Yin would completely transform into Lu Xihua. There wouldn't be any flaws in his disguise.
However, this idea was still rejected by Guhan. Sex change could indeed change one's appearance, but it couldn't change one's DNA. As long as Zhou Yu was careful, he would still be able to discover Lu Yin's true identity. The meticulous Zhou Yu didn't forget to do a DNA test on Lu Xihua. He only relaxed after getting the accurate DNA results. He believed that the person in front of him was Lu Xihua.
In order to cover up this last flaw, Guhan finally came up with an idea as big as a black hole: change Lu Yin and Lu Xihua's heads.
Because the current DNA testing equipment only extracted tissue from a person's body, there was no DNA testing equipment that would extract DNA from a person's head. This gave Guhan the opportunity to show off.
If the lower half of the body was Lu Xihua's but the head was Lu Yin's, then even the DNA testing equipment wouldn't be able to discover that Lu Xihua had changed his head.
This genius idea shocked Xuan. After asking the doctor carefully, Xuan and Guhan confirmed that the current medical technology could indeed temporarily help two people change their heads. At the same time, the skin, spine and nervous system would perfectly fuse together. At least on the surface, no one would be able to tell that the two had changed their heads. Since only part of the human body was fusing together, the operation was very fast. It would take at most two hours to complete the head change. In fact, this operation could even be done directly in the med bay.
Reconnecting the head and the body was easy, but the real problem was the rejection reaction between the two bodies. This was a problem that even modern black technology could not solve. Although it could be temporarily suppressed with drugs, the huge rejection reaction could still completely destroy the reconnected head and body in a short period of time … Ordinary people would not be able to hold on for more than ten minutes before dying from the intense rejection reaction.
Fortunately, Lu Xihua and Lu Yin were siblings, so they shared some of their DNA. Therefore, the reaction was not as intense as that of a normal person. Under the suppression of the drug, they could maintain a safe period of about an hour. During this one hour period, no one would be able to tell that there was anything wrong with their appearance.
Of course, after switching bodies, Lu Yin couldn't control his sister's body properly. He couldn't even walk and move normally.
Lu Xihua played the role of a captured prisoner. Throughout the entire process, there were powerful swordsmen holding Lu Xihua down, then inflicting some external injuries on Lu Xihua's body. This way, no matter how abnormal Lu Xihua's body was, Zhou Yu would only think that Lu Xihua's body was seriously injured. How could he possibly think that Lu Xihua's head had actually been changed?
Now that things had progressed to this point, the next mission was Xuan and the Great Sun Sword Immortal's. After Lu Xihua appeared, Xuan and the Great Sun Sword Immortal had to trick Zhou Yu into Lu Xihua's body within an hour. Otherwise, if the rejection became too strong, they would have to cut off their necks and switch bodies. Otherwise, Lu Xihua and Lu Yin's lives would be in danger.
Fortunately, Xuan and the Great Sun Sword Immortal were able to accomplish their mission. Zhou Yu might be well-versed in modern technology, but he still had the mindset of an ancient person. He didn't expect Lu Xihua to be able to change his head. In the end, he fell into Gu Han and Xuan's trap and died.
Looking at the whole process, although Guhan and Xuan came up with the plan together, the real heroes were Lu Xihua and Lu Yin … When normal people heard that Guhan wanted them to switch bodies, their first reaction would be to think that Guhan was crazy. They would never agree to such a ridiculous request. Just like Guhan yesterday, he would rather start a massacre in Yanjing than give up his life!
But when Guhan told Lu Xihua his plan, Lu Xihua agreed without hesitation. At the same time, she helped her brother convince him to switch bodies. Only then did the plan go smoothly.
Otherwise, if Lu Xihua wasn't willing and delayed for a day or two, Zhou Yu would definitely be suspicious. At that time, the plan wouldn't go so smoothly.
So Guhan and the Great Sun Sword Immortal had already discussed it. When Lu Xihua and Lu Yin woke up, they would give all the credit to Lu Xihua. Guhan wouldn't take any credit himself. Or rather, they would use the lives of the 1699 people to make up for it.
"Guhan!
If … I mean if … if your plan fails … if Zhou Yu discovers the truth that Lu Xihua isn't the real Lu Xihua, what will you do? "
When everyone was in a state of follow-up work, Liunian Ling suddenly pulled Guhan to a secluded corner and whispered to Guhan.
"If Zhou Yu finds out the truth, I'll immediately jump out of the void and destroy the core of the creature's brain. That should be able to temporarily remove Zhou Yu's absolute control over the creature's brain, and the part of the soul that is being controlled will be able to escape …"
"What about the remaining part?"
"Then treat it as if they gave up their lives for the great cause of humanity!"
"Just like how you killed the 1699 people without hesitation?"
"You can think of it that way!"
"Then … if the power of laws in Lu Yin's brain can't kill Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu really takes over his brain, what will you do then?"
Liunian Ling wasn't willing to let Guhan go so easily. She then hypothesized an even more terrifying possibility.
"I will immediately crush Lu Yin's brain, kill Zhou Yu, and return the body to Lu Xihua!" Guhan answered.
"Then doesn't that mean Lu Yin will die with him?" Liunian Ling's expression was one of shock.
"Yes!
He died for humanity, a worthy death! "Guhan said calmly.
Hearing Guhan's answer, Liunian Ling felt a chill run down her spine, "But … if you aren't willing to die for humanity … what right do you have to ask Lu Yin to give up his life for humanity?"
"Being weak is a sin!"
Guhan sighed, "Because I am strong enough, I have the ability to reject the violence that tries to inflict on me.
If Lu Yin is strong enough, he also has the right to reject all of this. Otherwise, he will only be at the mercy of the strong! "
"…" Liunian Ling was silent for a while, "What if it's me? If one day I face the same situation as Lu Yin, will you kill me without hesitation?"
"I won't!"
Guhan didn't hesitate and pulled Liunian Ling into his arms, "Even if the sun and the moon are reversed, the ocean is reversed, and time is reversed, I will definitely save you. You will always be by my side!"
"This is also the right of the strong!"
…
While Guhan was waiting for Lu Xihua to wake up from the medical pod, the recovery of the human souls was also progressing in an orderly manner.
Without Zhou Yu's control, the biological brain entered a state of freedom. The staff of the research institute all went online and began to guide the remaining souls trapped in the biological brain offline.
The entire process was carried out in an orderly manner. In a short period of time, a large number of souls returned to their original bodies and reunited with their loved ones. The first major crisis in human history caused by a game seemed to have come to an end.
But in the end, something unexpected happened.
The staff responsible for guiding the souls in the online game reported to the Great Sun Sword Immortal that a portion of the souls were trapped in a certain instance and could not be guided out of the game.
As for the staff who tried to enter the instance, they completely lost contact with them after entering the instance. They were also trapped in the game and became new victims.
When the final count was done, there were about four million souls trapped in the instance. No matter how hard the staff in the control room tried, they could not release these souls.
This discovery caused the entire control room to become extremely nervous. All the staff members were desperately trying to figure out what was going on inside.
However, the biological computer dungeon was like a sturdy city. No matter how hard the staff attacked, they could not even open a crack in the city. They had no idea what was going on in the dungeon, let alone a way to save the trapped people.
Just when everyone was at their wits' end, Gu Han, who was watching from the side, suddenly asked, "Where's Tomono Kaede?
Did Tomono Kakaze not appear? "
"No!"
Xuan replied bitterly. In reality, he had been paying attention to Tomono Kakaze's situation. After all, Tomono Kakaze was a soul he raised. Like a daughter, Xuan cared about Tomono Kakaze the most.
But just like the souls trapped in the fortress, Tomono Kakaze had also completely lost contact with them.
If the worst case scenario was considered, then Tomono Kakaze might have been killed by Zhou Yu's soul. Tomono Kakaze was already dead!
"There's no other way!
If it really doesn't work, we can only break this instance with hardware! "Xuan sighed. This was the last solution everyone could think of.
No matter how powerful a software was, it still needed hardware to support it. Even a terrifying instance was built on the foundation of a living creature's brain. Right now, humans had already located the area in the living creature's brain. As long as they completely removed that area of the living creature's brain and cut off the connection with the living creature's brain, they could destroy the entire instance with hardware … This was a relatively labor-saving method.
As for whether the trapped souls could successfully escape after destroying the living creature's brain … This was something even Xuan could not give an answer to. After all, the souls were trapped in a small piece of the living creature's brain. Only God knew if they could return to their own bodies alive.
